Sicily is the richest and most fascinating region
of Italy. According to recent statistics, more than 37% of
Italian monumental and artistic wealth is found in the ancient Trinacria.
It is the largest island in the center of the Mediterranean
Sea, and has
always been of great strategic importance for all populations that have
visited it.
The great German traveler, Wolfgang Goethe (poet and writer during the XVII century) said, “To come to Italy and not visit Sicily, is not to recognize its true essence and spirit”.
We invite you, therefore, to read the history of Sicily by a different literary key, on that we find quite appropriate, as well as “appetizing”, and which we call "Sicilian Wine. Stories and Legends from the Kitchen to the Cellar".

It has a complex structure, a round, full body and a large bouquet. It reaches its optimal level after one year of ageing. After maceration and pressing, it is poured in chestnut barrels.
After the period of ageing the wine is bottled for other fifty days of refinement, after which it is ready to drink. More...

WINEAPPEAL.IT "ART IN A BOTTLE"
Without question, the traditions of art
and wine in Sicily have truly ancient roots. That the two should
pair together so naturally comes as no surprise: both elements
satisfy the immaterial needs of the human spirit; both are
sensitive and open to individual appreciation through contemplation
and taste, transcending their physical form to create a unique
experience and source of enjoyment. More... |
